Late August I go to Fraser Coast, drop Ian off at Bruce and Sues, they take him to Mater Private for apheresis treatments. I come back throught Bne on Saturday, then return Avis car to Tba. Drive back down to Mater on Sunday. Discover Ian allowed out for the day, so ring Helen King and go over there for low key lovely lunch and chin wag. Ian goes over to Greenslopes Monday for portacath insertion. Back to B€ S Tuesday, and I picked home up from there. The treatment was so good for him, much better colour, more energy.
